I have Long COVID and am very grateful to have been placed in the ESA support group.
I may be offered the opportunity (by my previous employer) to do an hour or two of self employed work, from home on an irregular basis and only as and when I feel up to it.
This would likely be consultancy type work, eg reviewing a document and providing feedback by adding comments throughout the document, ie not requiring me to provide a written report, and with a long lead time (eg a few weeks).
My Long COVID causes severe fatigue and brain fog, and the nature of the condition is that I have bad days and slightly better days. I would therefore only do this type of activity on the better days and would have to very carefully pace and take regular rest breaks.
Is this type of work permitted in the support group, and if so, is it likely to impact my claim going forward?
